City Sessions Judge,Ahmedabad in<br \/>\n\tSessions Case No. 5 of 1987 by which the original accused No.3<br \/>\n\tParshottam Rame came to be sentenced for the offence punishable<br \/>\n\tunder section 304 Part-1 of I.P. Code, who  preferred Criminal<br \/>\n\tAppeal No. 132 of 1988. Feeling aggrived by the said judgment the<br \/>\n\tState had preferred Criminal Appeal No. 447 of 1988 against all the<br \/>\n\toriginal accused persons. However at the time of admission of the<br \/>\n\tappeal, learned APP had not pressed the State appeal againt the<br \/>\n\toriginal accused No.5  Lallu Lala Chavda Vaghri.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tBrief case of the<br \/>\n\tprosecution is that complainant Babubhai,  deceased Vinodbhai and<br \/>\n\tDevjibhai were the three brothers.  They were residing in a hut of<br \/>\n\tthe chawl known as ?SParvatibai Chawl??, situated near Adwait<br \/>\n\tAshram and opposite to Shankar Bhuvan of Shahpur. Devjibhai and<br \/>\n\tVinodbhai have got their shop near Adwait Ashram.  The original<br \/>\n\taccused no.1 to 4 are brothers, while accused no.5 Lallubhai is<br \/>\n\ttheir uncle. The case of the prosection  is that accused no.1, Amrut<br \/>\n\tRama and accused no.3 Parshottam Rama are the pick-pockerts and<br \/>\n\tpolice used to arrest both of them quite often, who suspected that<br \/>\n\tthe complainant and his brothers were working as informants of the<br \/>\n\tpolice.  That on 21\/10\/1986  at about 8.30 p.m. Complainant<br \/>\n\tBabubhai, his deceased brother Vinodbhai and their neighbours<br \/>\n\tSureshbhai Alabhai and Natvarbhai Jivabhai had gone to the Pan-Bidi<br \/>\n\tcabin known as ?SGandhi Bridge Pan House?? for eating pan and<br \/>\n\tafter ordering pan they were talking casually. At that time accused<br \/>\n\tno.3 Parshottam came there along with his three brothers i.e.<br \/>\n\taccused nos 1,2 and 4.  According to the prosecution case accused<br \/>\n\tno.3 Parshottam inflictd a gupti blow on the left side chest of<br \/>\n\tVinodbhai. Rest of the accused caught hold of deceased Vinodbhai and<br \/>\n\tagain accused no.3 inflicted two to three more gupti blows to<br \/>\n\tVinodbhai. Complainant and his companions raised shouts and hence<br \/>\n\taccused no. 1 to 4 ran away. Thereafter injured Vinodbhai was<br \/>\n\tshifted to V.S. Hospital, and on examination  he was found dead.<br \/>\n\tThe case was registered  and subsequently the accused were arrested.<br \/>\n\t It is the case of the prosection that accused no.5 Lallubhai, who<br \/>\n\tis uncle of the accused gave shelter to all the accused knowing full<br \/>\n\twell that they had committed murder of Vinodbhai.  On completion of<br \/>\n\tthe investigation police filed charge sheet before the learned<br \/>\n\tMetropolitan Magistrate for the offences punishable under sections<br \/>\n\t302, 201, 212 and 34 of I.P. Code and also for offence punishable<br \/>\n\tunder section 135 (1) of Bombay Police Act. Thereafter the case was<br \/>\n\tcommitted to the Court of Sessions where it was numbered as Sessions<br \/>\n\tCase No. 5 of 1987. After completion of the trial, Learned Addl.<br \/>\n\tSessions Judge, Ahmedad, vide judgment &amp; order dated 8th<br \/>\n\tMarch 1988 acquitted accused no.1,2,4 and 5 on the ground of<br \/>\n\tprossecution&#8217;s failure to prove case agaisnt them, however convicted<br \/>\n\taccused no.3 Parshottam Rama for offence under Section 304 Part-I of<br \/>\n\tI.P. Code.\n<\/p>\n<p>Being<br \/>\n\taggrieved and feeling dissatisfied by the judgment of acquittal of<br \/>\n\taccused no. 1,2, 4 and 5 appellant State has preferred Criminal<br \/>\n\tAppeal No. 447 of 1988; while the accused no.3 who was convicted for<br \/>\n\toffence under section 304-Part-1 by the judgment of learned Addl.<br \/>\n\tSessions Judge, preferred Criminal Appeal No. 132 of 1988.  At the<br \/>\n\ttime of admission of appeals, State has not pressed appeal against<br \/>\n\taccused no.5 and hence Criminal Appeal No. 447 of 1998 now remains<br \/>\n\tto be decided only against accused no. 1,2 and 4 respectively.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tcounsel for the appellant in Criminal Appeal No. 132 of 1998 has<br \/>\n\tassailed the judgment of conviction of accused no.3 on the grounds<br \/>\n\tthat it is difficult to place reliance upon the testimony of the<br \/>\n\tcomplainant&#8217;s side that accused no.3 inflicted know (gupti) blow on<br \/>\n\tthe chest of the deceased Vinodbhai.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t That the learned<br \/>\n\t\tJudge, while examing the prosecution case as to the motive for<br \/>\n\t\tacused no.1 to 4 to commmit murder, clearly recorded a finding that<br \/>\n\t\tthe evidence regarding motive agaist the accused no.1 to 4 is quite<br \/>\n\t\tweak.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t Learned Judge also<br \/>\n\t\tfound in respect to the so called discovery of kife that the said<br \/>\n\t\tevidence was not sufficient to connect the accused no.3 with the<br \/>\n\t\tcrime.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t That, Learned Judge<br \/>\n\t\tseriously erred in recording the finding of guilt of accused no.3,<br \/>\n\t\tmore particularly when it was observed that ?S from the detailed<br \/>\n\t\tdiscussions of the prosecution eivdence it must be said without<br \/>\n\t\tany hesitation that the prosecution has not been able to prove<br \/>\n\t\tbeyond any reasonable doubt that the accused no.3 is guilt of the<br \/>\n\t\toffence of murder.?S However learned Judge, while considering the<br \/>\n\t\tdefence of the accused no.3 that he had inflicted one  knife blow<br \/>\n\t\tto deceased in exercise of right of private defence during the<br \/>\n\t\tstatement recorded under section 313 I.P. Code, proceeded to<br \/>\n\t\texamine the justification of causing such injury by giving knife<br \/>\n\t\tblow.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t Shri Shah, learned<br \/>\n\t\tcounsel  has further argued that the learned trial Judge while<br \/>\n\t\tconsidering statement of accused no.3 recorded under section 313,<br \/>\n\t\tproceeded to observe that the accused no.3 had no such apprehension<br \/>\n\t\tat the stage when he inflicted vital blow on the chest of the<br \/>\n\t\tdeceased Vinodbhai.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t Learned trial Judge<br \/>\n\t\tseriously erred in not accepting the opinon of Dr. Parikh who had<br \/>\n\t\tperformed the post mortem and came to the conclusion that the<br \/>\n\t\tinjuries sustained by the deceased were all possible during the<br \/>\n\t\tcourse of struggle to snatch away the knife. The medical evidence<br \/>\n\t\tcompletely substantiate the case of defence and  the statement of<br \/>\n\t\taccused no.3 about the circumstances in which he caused injury on<br \/>\n\t\tthe deceased.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tShri Shah therefore<br \/>\n\t\tsubmitted that the judgment of conviction passed against accused<br \/>\n\t\tno.3 may be  quashed &amp; set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tAPP Shri. Nanavati has urged that the trial Court has accepted the<br \/>\n\tstory of the prosecution that the accused no.3 was the author of the<br \/>\n\tinjury inflicted. In that light when there was only  one knife<br \/>\n\tinjury it can not be said that the deceased was not the aggressor.<br \/>\n\tIn that background right of private defence could not be given to<br \/>\n\tthe accused. In any case the appeal of the accused where in he has<br \/>\n\tchallenged his conviction under section 304 Part-I is not liable to<br \/>\n\tsustain because it is clearly established that the accused was the<br \/>\n\tauthor of the injury.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tLearned counsel for<br \/>\n\tthe accused supported the findings of the trial Court and urged that<br \/>\n\tbenefit of right of private defence has rightly been given on the<br \/>\n\tpoint of sentence. In his appeal he stressed that about 1 \u00bd<br \/>\n\tyears of confinement has been suffered by the accused. At such a<br \/>\n\tdistance of time, he may not be sent again to jail since  the<br \/>\n\tinjuries are found to be in the right of private defence.\n<\/p>\n<p>We<br \/>\n\thave heard the learned counsels and have given our thoughtful<br \/>\n\tconsideration to the facts obtaining on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tcase as stated clearly show that it was not a case of<br \/>\n\tpre-meditation. When two parties enter into a quarrel and one has<br \/>\n\tthe worse of it, it follow that neither of the party can be given<br \/>\n\tadvantage of the situation.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tevidence led by the prosecution has been  held to be untrustworthy.<br \/>\n\tBoth the parties  entered into a fight on Panshop a common meeting<br \/>\n\tground ?  not a fighting ground. The parties were not going to a<br \/>\n\tpoint of no return. In fact it was a situation where temper rose on<br \/>\n\tthe spur of the moment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThe findings of the<br \/>\n\ttrial Court are thus not required to be disturbed, however with<br \/>\n\tsome modification in sentence in respect of accused no.3. The<br \/>\n\tsubstantive sentence awarded to the accused No.3  &#8211; Parshottam Rama<br \/>\n\t( Appellant in Criminal Appeal No. 132 of 1988 ) under Section 304<br \/>\n\tPart-I is reduced to the  period  already undergone. Except the<br \/>\n\tabove modification, rest of the judgment is maintained. The appeal<br \/>\n\tof the State being Criminal Appeal No. 447 of 1988 is dismissed in<br \/>\n\tentirely. The appeal of the accused being Criminal Appeal No. 132 of<br \/>\n\t1988 is allowed in part to the extent of sentence as indicated<br \/>\n\tabove. Bail Bonds are cancelled.  Registry is directed to send<br \/>\n\trecord &amp; proceedings to the trial Court forthwith.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                    [<br \/>\nBHAGWATI PRASAD, J ]<\/p>\n<p>                                                    [<br \/>\nS.R.
